i actually here sydney is the best. all my teachers went to sydney

University of New England is apparently great for teaching..that's where I am hoping to go. Although that may have something to do with it being about 10 minutes away from my house..

I'd go to the university which has the best department in regards to your chosen teaching subject.

in the end it wont matter too much ebcause you will be studying relatively the same content. whats important is finding a uni with prac work that starts early, unlike UNSW where its in your 3rd year. some people can know the content but are totally uncapable of teaching it to other people, so best off finding out in the beginning and not wasting 3 years. but any course with a high practical component is what you want at the end of the day

ACU is pretty solid for getting employment in CEO and independent schools

USYD FTW

 

[mioumiou]

What I've heard is Sydney, cuz they've offered the most and has the highest ATAR requirement. What's the exact ATAR requirement for Sydney? somewhere like 85? Cuz last time I've checked it only said something like 85 point something UAI (which doesn't exist anymore...)

Just because the ATAR is high doesn't mean it's the best. USYD probably think they can stack on a few more points than is actually needed because of their reputation.

ACU is the best for education i have not heard much good about sydney lately, i heard it used to be good but has gotten much worse over the last few years

Anywhere, a course is a course, doesn't really matter where you do it. Imo anywayz.

i agree.
obviously uni's all have to have the same course, otherwise how would everyone graduate with the same qualification...? haha. i guess its just the delivery method that counts. for education courses i rekon you'd be better off going to a smaller uni. better student teacher ratio etc.

That's an excellent point.

Ive only heard good things about UNE to be honest...unlike sydney

 

[i-love-maynard]

I was doing secondary teaching at usyd last year. Wouldn't suggest usyd at all which is why I transferred.

 

[nutting]

Yeah its tedious to figure out which Universities specialising in Primary Education from Secondary Education...there's a lot of diff between these teaching degrees
